Market is 3 weeks away and my "to do" list is 4 weeks long. Yikes - I am not sure how this is going to work.Sleepless nights I am guessing.

My new market line Lollipop arrived last week.

So I called in the troops to whip up the quilts.Lori, Sandy and Lois, all still in the same positionsthat you saw them in when I blogged about the last market.

A sneak peek of the panel.This line features fun bright colors such as:

Orange and Vanilla

Lime and Cherry

Banana, Chocolate and Blueberry.

Snippets of a few of the quilts that the girls have made using this fabric.

If any of you are going to Sample Spree at market,

Moda will be selling a kit of this quilt.

It is made using a Lollipop Charm Pack™..The kit will include a

Charm Pack™, pattern, backing and buttons.

It's pretty cute if I do say so myself.

It might just be worth the cuts and bruises

you may receive during the Sample Spree mayhem.

If you are a shop owner, you will be able to view this fabric at the Moda booth. Book you appointment now.If you are not a shop owner and you like this fabric - please let your shop owner know and she just might buy it for you. This fabric will ship in October.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at market. Market is in Minneapolis this year - 3 hours from here.Gotta love it. What's the nicest thing about it being so close? No not the short drive.

When I leave my purse someplace (and I will)

the farthest away it could possibly be, would be 3 hours.

With such a short distance one could just drive back and pick it up -

as opposed to leaving it in Oklahoma - 12 hours away.Yes, nice to have market so close.

Looks like lollipop is another great fabric line of yours!!! I have a lot of your fabrics and love all them!! I am working on a quilt using your objects of desire fabric...I have essence, gobble gobble, pumpkins gone wild, L'amore....and probably more. I finished a quilt with the red, white and bold last week and have 4 posts on my blog about it. Good luck on getting everything done before market!!

Ahhh! I can't keep up! Sandy, it is just recently that I found your fabrics and I love e-v-e-r-y o-n-e of them. I bought a couple bins of various fabric at a garage sale because I LOVE pumpkins and found some adorable pumpkin fabric I needed :). Then, a couple weeks later on vacation I came across your Frolic line and picked a quilt pattern and purchased all that the pattern required (a big step for me, because I usually purchase in portions, and then can't find what I want). I got home and looked you up and found that the pumpkin fabric I love from the garage sale is part of your Gobble Gobble line! Then I see Adoring surface at my local shops (which I'll admit I adore, but not as much as your fall-colored lines) so it's no surprise I can't get enough of Awesome, and now I'm thinking of something I can make with Lollipop; I haven't even taken Frolic from its bag in order to use it... I can't keep up! Now, I look over these comments and see you have a line called Pumpkins Gone Wild??! I need to find it. Thanks for designing such wonderfulness. I don't know how to express to you how much I love your style. I've got to keep up with you, but don't know that I can. I love your fabrics! Thanks!

About Sandy

I have always had an interest in art and sewing. My mother taught me how to sew at a young age. In high school I made my own clothes and made greeting cards for my friends. Later on I made cards for my boyfriend, who later became my husband. On the advice of my high school counselor I did not pursue a career in art. I was told that an "A" in high school art does not make you an artist. In 1988 I set out to prove that counselor wrong (or right) and started a greeting card company, " My Dream Designs." In 1992 I combined my love of art and sewing skills and the pattern company "Pieces From My Heart" was born. In spring of 1994, I attended my first international Quilt Market in St. Louis, where I was discovered by Moda Fabrics. Many fabric lines later, I am thrilled to be designing fabric for Moda. Designing fabric allows me to work with different color pallets, which is my favorite part of designing. I reside in Algona, Iowa with my husband Bruce. We have two grown children, Anthony and Abby. Pieces From My Heart Books and Patterns are available at your local quilt shop or go to www.piecesfrommyheart.net
